Clark man died from blunt force trauma, prosecutor says

CLARK — A Clark man who was found unresponsive at his home yesterday died from blunt force trauma, Union County Prosecutor Theodore J. Romankow said today.

The Union County Homicide Task Force and the Clark Police Department are in the early stages of an investigation into the death of Joseph Galfy.

He was found unresponsive in his Starlite Drive home around 2 p.m. Officers were called to the home for a welfare check and discovered the victim, Romankow said.

The prosecutor said it was considered a "suspicious death" until late this afternoon, when the Union County Medical Examiner concluded an autopsy and determined that Galfy died as a result of blunt force trauma.

Anyone with information regarding the homicide is urged to contact Union County Crime Stoppers. A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered to anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest and indictment of a suspect or suspects in the death of Galfy. Crime Stoppers may be reached at 908-654-TIPS or uctip.org.
